Grass in the Street

Hey guys do any of you have problems with people not wanting grass in the street? I mean this time of year is the worst time with all the rain and quick growth.

I don't have a huge problem with this, but I just tell the few people that do complain that this time of year the grass in really thick and growing fast and there is just more grass to blow off of there walks...etc.

one of my biggest pet peeves.. i hate driving around and seeing grass all over the street or the sidewalk. if an LCO leaves it, it looks very unprofessional IMHO. i just whip out the BR420 and blow it up off the street to the sidewalk, then to the yard.

Leave it to California to have yet another regulation. I love that state!

In our SOP's the crew is to blow off all the hard surfaces on the customer's property, including the an adjacent neighbor's hard surfaces (e.g. driveway along lawn area), the curb and street. In fact, blowing down the curb/gutter helps to make a property look neater than if it looks cluttered.

I know of at least one occurance where a vehicle tried to stop quickly on grass that was blown into the street, and the vehicle went into a spin and hit a telephone pole. The owners of the property and lawn company were sued. Putting grass out on the street is very dangerous and can cause accidents. If you don't believe me, try it yourself.

People NOT wanting it in the street? Who would possibly NOT want grass all down in their curb and out in the street in front of their property! Here's an idea; just blow it all into their beds. It's all organic!

Thank you, Dad - for always being the dad that you were. You truly are my hero. You always were.

Of course it is easy to whip out the backpack and cleanup the street....However in this BASS ACKWARD city of ours, where we see a street cleaner once a year, we end up with the dilemna of having to clean other debris on a weekly basis such as sticks, helicopters (maples), cigarettes, wrappers etc etc.. That stinks , now we are doing even more work because you can't blow all that debris up on the lawn and "hide" it.

have the same problem with all the other debris , like cigs, wrappers, cans, bottles, etc... I just blow it into a pile and drop it into the clients garbage pail or if they dont have one out , into a garbadge bucket I have in my trailer for my trash.... Same with grass too, just blow it into a pile and pick up ... only take s a few minutes and makes a big differeance in finished appearance..
